Would if I could......

So its up to you guys to keep me entertained with photos and ride reports for the next few months

Just to clarify.... that is Motorcycle ride reports - I see enough reality cooking shows on the bug box without having to read about it on KB as well

.

Now get out there and get riding....

Yeh I have a really bad head cold now as well but I am going for a head clearing ride this arvo around the back of Cambridge and Monovale. Just the ticket for a dose of hayfever I reckon. Overload my hypersensitive histamine responses with pollens. That'll fuckem.

well I got home a little while ago and yes, snot all over the inside of my already really dark visor along with a bit of dust from the gravelly bits makes for interesting viewing. My bloody bike has developed a mid power misfire that is not apparent at idle of under acceleration. It has a new plug and is okay under load so that would rule out the HT system??? Any thoughts?

Phew, time for some better work stories maybe

mine had simular splutter/misfire at around 50-60kms in 4th well around those kinda revs in any gear but once opening the throttle it would disapear, mine had it from the day i picked it up so couldnt pin point it to any changes i had made.... anyways mine turned out to be a jet issue so after the carb kit shes sweet.

does it still do it with the old plug?

Yep, the old plug was the same. I think I have found the cause. The airfliter was a solid mass of dirt. Teach me for being the sweep rider all the time and the intake manifold is cracked sucking air. I'll take the manifold to the shoe repair place to have the rubber vulcanized and sealed. New airfilter and hopefully Bob will again be my uncle??
